Item Description

Paris 1900 comes to the Portland Art Museum this June!

Travel back to Paris at the dawn of the 20th century and experience the splendor of the sparkling French capital as it hosted the world for the International Exposition of 1900. This was the height of the Belle Époque, a period of peace and prosperity in France when fine art, fashion, and entertainment flourished as never before. Fifty-one million visitors from around the world attended the Exposition and flooded the city, where they enjoyed its posh restaurants, opulent opera house, artistic cabarets, and well-tended parks. For the French, it was an opportunity to show off their prowess in the arts, sciences, and new technology, and to highlight what made Paris unique from rivals London and Berlin.

Paris 1900 re-creates the look and feel of the era through nearly 250 paintings, decorative art objects, textiles, posters, photographs, jewelry, sculpture, and film, and will plunge visitors into the atmosphere of La Belle Époque.  

The winning bidder will enjoy this package that includes four passes to see the exhibition, four free drink coupons to our Museum Grounds coffee shop and the hardback book on the Paris 1900 exhibit. No expiration dates on museum passes.
